Margs are best with some mescal and agave works really well; also, Cointreau is a must. No fucking generic triple sec (Cointreau is 40% ABV, cheap shit is often 10-15%). Fresh juice a must.
Marg mix will get you lit on fire around me.
When it's time to go out, though?
As a former DFW superiority dude, I like Javier's Margs. I prefer rocks and salt.
I like frozen salt as well, esp at Mi Cocina. Mariano's is bullshit, but Gloria's is fine and if you want diabetes and a good time you can't beat El Ranchito.
I also like an IV that only has tequila.
.75 Milagro Silver (or rep if you're a fag)
.25 Vida Mescal
1 Cointreau
1 Lemon
1 Lime (or two lime if you like)
.5-.75 agave depending on taste.
If you want to go nuts, add a jalapeño into the tin.
This shit is mind blowing.
Also: Tommy's margs that don't include orange liqueur are not margs at all. To be a marg is FUCKING MUST contain orange liqueur.
This is because the original drink naming nomenclature used to call any sour (meaning booz with lemon or lime juice) drink that contained a measure of orange liqueur a "daisy" (gin daisy, cognac daisy, etc). And since the Marg is a "daisy" with tequila, people used the Spanish word for a daisy (the flower), which is...

DDY loves Javier's because it's an overpriced Dallas Mexican joint that is a good place to be seen but produces some mediocre Mexican food by my taste ... the only redeeming element to Javier's is that it has a cigar room ... so that's nice. Gloria's has always been my favorite place in Dallas proper ... you have to go to Joe T Garcia's when in Ft Worth.
Margaritas are to each their own ...
DDY is right that the best way to drink a margarita is when it is fresh ... lime juice is a must ... Cointreau is huge if you are doing it right. And always go with clear tequila ... it's much smoother in my opinion.
Where Dennis and I probably disagree is that while I prefer the higher end margarita, I don't often want to put the effort into making it. I'm perfectly content with tequila, triple sec, and mix. Can you taste the difference? Of course. But when you're just hanging around the house and looking for a quick drink, there you go. When trying to impress, hosting, etc., then go out of your way for the good stuff. -

The best Mexican restaurant in Texas is the original Ninfas location. Other Mexican restaurants can get back to me when they invent fajitas.
-
A whole lot of margarita superiority guys hanging out in this thread.
-
There's about to be a houston vs dallas fajita war. Houston on average is better, but dallas has some spots.
Ninfa's green sauce is what dreams are made of, can also be found at Los cucos.
Dallas invented brisket tacos, best spots
Mia's - the original
Frankie's (collin co superiority guy hot take)
Manny's uptown
Matt's in lakewood
-
Fajita wars? Who knew such a thing could exist? Fuck margaritas, tequila and I don't mix well. But I love fa-ginas. And San Diego style burritos.

Oh by the way, that was painful but what are the plans for a Valentine's day special podcast? Coker can express his love for each signee as a Valentine's Day card.

SD absolutely belongs in a Mexican food thread. SD is less than 20 miles from Mexico, has a large Mexican population, and solid food choices. But if you want to talk real Mexican foods we should talk about Tijuana street meats. You can't beat a "guess the meat" cart at 2AM in Tijuana. I mean, you can really easily with buying Safeway Chinese food and calling it Mexican. But, if you are in Tijuana at 2AM, you have bigger worries than eating rat, dog, horse, skinny cow, or dead hooker.WilburHooksHands said:

Upvote for the gif. I love that gif

Margaritas do not need orange liquor. Float some grand Marnier on top if you want it to be sweet like a fag.
Fresh lime.
agave syrup.
Tequilla.
Rocks salt.
Blended is for fags who want watered down booze.
Agree about adding any varietal of pepper into it for spice.
Back in SB a fresh mango puree habanero margarita on the rocks at Blue Agave was MONEY.

So this pod was magic.
That aside...
Margarita:
50 tequilla
30 triple sec
20 roses unsweetened lime juice. That is more important than the liquor
The real secret though, that I'm only sharing because I love you is the salt
Mix your rock salt with Tony chacheres. I accept most forms of alcohol as payment -
I didn't think this thread could get any gayer.
I was wrong. -
Just finished the pood on my flight to Atlanta. So after listening to it I think my best bet is to spend all my money at one of the esteemed adult entertainment options and then walk right into the Georgia swamp naked instead of watching the game and wait for an alligator to eat me.
